Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Just upload it to archive.org before your backup dies. No need to hoard it for yourself.
As if they're not having enough trouble with hosting "questionable" content! You obviously didn't read the torrentfreak article making the rounds.
Internet Archive != the Pirate Bay.
For now, DON'T contaminate the IA with the Classic Chicago Television channel.
Nah. IA doesn't need to deal with this volume of shit and they already have enough of a hard time dealing with copyright trolls.
If this channel is impacted in the future, I'll probably put out a few torrents with the videos and post them here.
